Posted on August 3, 2019February 7, 2021 by Red Dirt Kelly

Today as we mourn the deaths from a mass shooting in El Paso, some might need to pray without words. I know I do. And, I’m praying for solutions as well.

Merry Christmas 2014 – FREE Seasonal Music for Readers of the RDC

Posted on December 24, 2014March 9, 2015 by Red Dirt Kelly

As a “Merry Christmas” to our sweet friends on this venue, I’m sharing all the files from a 2004 Christmas album my friends at Cherokee Hills Christian Church and I recorded at the University of Central Oklahoma Jazz Lab.  Thanks to Paul Eastland, Sam Pappas, Mark Hinderliter & Brandon Smith for the good work.  Peace,…

EPOTM: Dibble, OK

Posted on May 3, 2014March 18, 2015 by Red Dirt Kelly

A grade school friend of mine who lived across our pasture used to tease our classmates then use “Dibble, OK” as the punch line. “If you DO graduate high school, I’m sure you’ll have nice career at the Sonic in Dibble.” “You’re getting on my nerves.  I think it’s time for you to move to…

Christmas Pipes: My Pick of the Top Female Christmas Recordings of the Last Half-Century

Posted on December 15, 2011November 8, 2015 by Red Dirt Kelly

When my mind drifts to Christmas music, I’ll frequently hear Bing Crosby crooning, Nat King Cole smoothly balladeering, or perhaps Mark Lowrey’s “Mary Did You Know.” But when I focus my thoughts on what female artists have contributed to the Christmas recording repertoire this past half-century, I’m truly amazed. I’ve decided to open up a…

Sherree Chamberlain’s Quarter-Life Crisis: A Journey Down Her Musical Path

Posted on April 28, 2011April 29, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

Guitar, small lunch gigs, then nighttime music scene gigs. The journey doesn’t stop there. After she graduated, she was able to begin substitute teaching while she began committing more time and energy into becoming a local draw in the Oklahoma City metro and Norman areas. Those who follow her music, attend her shows and say “hello” on the street are growing in numbers.

James Taylor and the Civic Center Music Hall: A Review

Posted on April 27, 2011April 27, 2011 by thehoward

Once in a while I get the opportunity to see a show where I can sit back, relax and simply enjoy the quality of the musicians in front of me.  Last night at the Civic Center Music Hall was such a night.  The star of the show, James Taylor, assembled a band of tremendous musicians,…

Music from the Man Cave – James Taylor

Posted on April 26, 2011April 27, 2011 by thehoward

My beautiful wife is taking me to see James Taylor at the Civic Center Music Hall tonight. I have to say, for a heavy metal guy I’m pretty excited.

Music from the Man Cave: Chronology of My Concert History at THE INCOMPARABLE MYRIAD

Posted on April 20, 2011June 14, 2021 by thehoward

In the 90’s I had a return engagement with Van Halen, Aerosmith and The Moody Blues. But my concert going days were winding down by then. The music industry seems to have flipped, probably due to on-line music sales. Where bands used to play concerts to sell albums, now they play concerts to generate funds to make albums.

Music From The Man Cave: Sunny Sweeney “If I Could”

Posted on April 12, 2011April 13, 2011 by thehoward

There is a lot to be said for music that makes listening fun. A lot of folks really take themselves and their music WAY too seriously. There is also a lot to be said for music that you stumble across accidentally.

Music From The Man Cave – Introduction and “Gamma”

Posted on April 1, 2011April 1, 2011 by thehoward

Several months ago I was cooking breakfast for the kids.  It was a weekday morning before school and my wife was getting ready for work.  Kind of an oddity, I suppose, around our house (my wife is a chef) but on weekdays it is either me or my son who cooks breakfast.  I suppose we…

Okie at the Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear

Posted on November 15, 2010November 20, 2010 by quentinhereandthere

In a world where cable networks have joined sides, run to the fringe and focused on sound bites or hyperbole, The Daily Show is a small breath of fresh air; it tackles serious topics, allows for details and nuance, and wraps it all up in highly entertaining edgy irreverence.

Real Men and Waking Up Early

Posted on November 3, 2010November 20, 2010 by Guests and Former Contributors
